C                F 
Stop the clock - take time out 
C               F 
Time to regroup before you lose the bout 
C                  F 
Freeze the frame - back it up 
C                  F 
Time to refocus before they wrap it up 

G                  F 
Years are getting shorter 
G                       F 
Lines on your face are getting longer 
G                 F 
Feel like you're treading water 
Em7                E              F 
But the riptide's getting stronger 

                            Dm 
Don't panic, don't jump ship 
                          D# 
Can't fight it, like taxes 
                          A#          G 
At least it happens only once in your life 

C                Am 
They're singing, happy birthday 
Em             F 
You just wanna lay down and cry 
C          Am            Em        F G 
Not just another birthday, it's 30/90 
C               Am 
Why can't you stay 29 
Em                   F 
Hell, you still feel like you're 22 
C           Am 
Turn thirty 1990 
Em  
Bang! You're dead 
      F    G   C 
What can you do? 
              F 
What can you do? 
              C  F 
What can you do? 

C                  F 
Clear the runway - make another pass 
C                      F 
Try one more approach before you're out of gas 

G                   F 
Friends are getting fatter 
G                     F 
Hairs on you head are getting thinner 
G            F 
Feel like a clean up batter 
Em7             E 
On a team that ain't a winner? 
F                                Dm 
Don't freak out, don't strike out 
                              D# 
Can't fight it, like city hall 

At least you're not alone 
     A#                  G 
Your friends are there too 
C                Am 
They're singing, happy birthday 
Em                F 
You just wish you could run away 
C          Am 
Who cares about a birthday? 
Em     F G  C 
But 30/90, hey 
             Am 
Can't you be optimistic? 
Em                F 
You're no longer the ingenue 
C             Am 
Turn thirty, 1990 
Em            
Boom! You're passe 
      F   G   C 
What can you do? 
              F  
What can you do? 
              C 
What can you do? 

( E  A  D  G ) 

Dm             G 
Peter pan and tinkerbell 
C                  F 
Which way to never never land? 
A#             D# 
Emerald city's gone to hell 
G# 
Since the wizard 
 F          Em       Dm 
Blew off his command 
                   G 
On the streets you hear the voices 
C               F 
Lost children, crocodiles 
A#          
But you're not into 
D#              
Making choices, wicked witches 
Cm 
Poppy fields, or men behind the curtain 
G# 
Tiger lilies, ruby slippers 
F                   G 
Clock is ticking, that's for certain 

D                Bm       
They're singing, happy birthday 
F#m             G 
I just wish it all were a dream 
D             Bm   
It feels much more like doomsday 
F#m     G A  D 
Fuck 30/90, seems 
            Bm 
Like I'm in for a twister 
F#m             G 
I don't see a rainbow, do you? 
D       Bm         
Turn 30 in the 90's 
Em 
Into my hands now 
The ball has passed 
Bm 
I want the spoils, but not too fast 
Em 
The world is calling 
                 Bm 
It's now or neverland 

Why can't I stay a child forever 

Em 
And 
30/90
